Petty spite.

The members of the finance committee
of the board of supervisors will continue
to perform the duties of other citizens of
the State of Illinois despite the protests
on the part of the morning Union. One
would have thought that after the scoring
administered by the concern yesterday
morning, the supervisors would not have
dared to sit on another Insane case jury
yesterday, but they did nevertheless.
The Unions spiteful TRADE had little eff
feet upon them. The members of the
committee named have business at the
court house and there is no reason why
they should not do duty in county
court Jury when opportunity affords.
The Union is meddlesome in interfering
with their doing so. 1t should adop
means of resentment where the spirit OF
spite is not so apparent. Otherwise it
course is contemplate.

Century Axo--A Happy Occasion.

Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Miller celebrated
the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage,
at their comfortable little home, 926 Third

domestic event, the estimsble couple who
had stood shoulder to shoulder through
half century of llfe's sunshine and sors

children end their children's children, and
pledged again the troths which they had
been so faithful to all these years. As
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller appeared in the circle
which they had witnessed grow up about
them, one would hardly suppose that they
had seen so many years of the hardships
of this world as they have. Time has
truly used them we'll; each in the seventy
second year. both looking as hale and
hearty as If atleast twenty years younger.
There were only direct relatives pres
ent when at 4:30 O'Clock. Rev. F. W.
Schwabe. of the German Presbyterian
church, performed the ceremony which
united in youth the hearts that have
thrsbbed as one for fifty years. and Out
of which has grown an attachment which
is life itself. Afterward an elegan
family dinner was spread. bringing to
| gether such reunion as never was il
that family before, or in all human prob
ability never will be again. Although
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller had mad,
it an expressed wish that Their
be no presents, they were made the re
cipients of several exquisite gifts, anon
which was a gold headed cane from thei
son-in law, Mr.. Grimm, of this city, wit
the name Joseph Miller neatly en-
graved on the top; an elegant Meei
schsum pipe and pair OF gold specta

The original Lights O. London" COM
psny as introduced in America under the
management of Shook & Collier. sp-
peared at Harper's theatre last evening
under Hill & Robinson's management.
The drama is one of Sims productions,
and while the plot is clearly drawn, the
piece is successful principally for its
scenic effects. The company carries its
own special stage settings, which are
probably the finest on the road. The
most attractive scenes are those Of Army
tsge hall and lawns, Chatham road and
London bridge by moonlight The com.
pany is. with few exceptions, the one
which has produced the play since its
first appearance. The role of Harold
Armytsge was cleverly handled by Chas.
Patterson; Horace Vinta played Clifford
Armytage admirably, and Joe Jarvis and
Mrs. Jarvis were favorably acted BY Mr..
Samuel Hemple and Mrs. FannyDenham
Rouse. respectively. The character of
Muldoon. the policeman, as impersonated
by Mr.. H, W. Montgomery, was very
good, as was L. ]. Loring's Seth Preene.

Lingg's breathing gradually became
slower; the pallor on the forehead deep
ened: slight glaze was noticed in the
now Sunken eyes. Some one said: He
is dying" and the reporters made ready
for rush to the nearest telephones.
Lingg'S big breast heayed once and was
still. His eyes looked straight ahead
with something of their old brightness,
but at a whisper from the doctor the re-
pOrterS dashed to the telephones, falling
one over another down the narrow stair
way to the court yard in their efforts to
tell the news first. While the reporters
were tumbling and running the doctor
raised Lingg's right arm. 1t fell back

right and left fOrefingers were laid ON

was empty of all but the ghastly corpse

CHICAGO, Noy. 10.-When the news of

that hung to his face moved to and fro.
Literally overcome, the captain hur-
ried from the cell and instantly sought
the officials. the jailer, the sheriff, the
doctors, suggesting that a consultation
should be held at once as to whether
man in Lingg's condition should be
hanged. DIR. Finger said that it would
be impossible to hang him, and no one
ever heard of a wounded man be-
ing hanged. But the sheriff did
not exactly understand why there should
be any need of a consultation. In his
Judgment the facts would settle the
matter Ii he lived there was no reason
why he shouldn't be hanged. If he
died, of course, he wouldn't be. This
line of thought was followed not only
by the officials and the physicians and
the counsel and the reporters and the
correspondents and the prisoners, but
by everybody in the city, and the uni
verSal regret was that Lingg had not
carried his suicidal purpose more fully
into effect. The corollary, however, of
more extreme regret was that elastic
ity in prison discipline should be so
marvellous as to permit a prisoner of
Lingg's well known desperation, of his
acknowledged determination not to die
upon the scaffOld, to be able to conceal
about his person, or anywhere else, the
